For today's Colors: Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather & Old Olive.
Stamped in archival black and water colored using ink pads & a paint brush. I added Sahara Sand around the edges and used a white gel pen for the centers. I covered the entire flowers with wink of stella. Using a piece of olive the size of an A2 card, I die-cut the rectangle center using the stitched die then put it through the subtle ef. The image is under the green panel. (I know it's hard to tell) I added the birthday sentiment using a vanilla hodgepodge hardware with brads and cream ribbon. Thanks for stopping by! ~Roberta

Wow, is this ever pretty, Roberta! I love the dark green framing and the texture you've given it with that great embossing folder. Gorgeous purple blossoms and it's so fun to see the vanilla hardware! I still have some, too. Oldies but Goodies : )

Very pretty Roberta. Your coloring is very nice and your card stock and leaves coordinate so nicely together. It brings back great memories for me when I was little girl and my mom would plant morning glory seeds every year around the bottom of our front yard light post.
Thank you also for leaving that nice comment on my card yesterday.
